the type of cover organization that should be substituted for
this purpose. After considering the matter at, length, it was
ascertained that the Agency has a cleared employment) service in

outside the Washington, D. C. area. Host of the training will

be conducted in an SR safe house in New York.

The SR reoresen—

tative will probably request a safe house in Baltimore for the
final assessment and processing of those REDSKIN Agents that

are cleared in the initial screening by either BRADT or MicKEE) 06
It should be noted at this point that SR Division plans to
process thirty or thirty-five REDSKIN Agents this year. Time
is, of course, of the essence, in view of the fact that these
people will have t~ be assessed, security-cleared, briefed, —

and trained, and arrangements for grants made before the sumer

season.
